VIDEO: Senseo is blinking rapidly

Help when the Senseo flashes quickly

1. Always because the Senseo is flashing quickly, it indicates that something is wrong. The rapid flashing is usually associated with an empty water tank. So before you do anything else, fill the tank up.
2. If the tank is full and the Senseo is still flashing quickly, the machine "thinks" that there is no water in the tank. There can be various reasons for this: Most of the time, the float in the tank has jammed. This will give the Senseo the wrong signal that the tank is empty. Clean the tank and move the float by hand. This is usually enough to make the swimmer mobile again.
3. Possibly. Has lime The swimmer is so clogged that he can no longer move. In this case, pour water with citric acid and let the mixture soak overnight. Rinse out the tank. now the swimmer should go again.
4. Sometimes the float becomes too heavy over time, that is, it sinks to the bottom even though there is water in the tank. In this case, you can simply clamp it in place with a plastic coconut skewer to keep it on top, or glue a small magnet to the outside of the tank. Caution: If you switch on the machine without water after this "repair", the Senseo will not recognize this and the heating coil will burn through. So only do this in an emergency and replace the water tank as soon as possible. With this type of repair you can trigger a total write-off.
